Chapter 86 Everyone Says You've Got Rich
There are nearly two hundred yuan here, plus what my sister-in-law sold, it should be three hundred yuan.
Chen Yongwei looked at Li Changle who was standing aside in a daze, and thought that he was also happy to death!
Li Changle's heart was bleeding. There were so many top-quality goods, any one of them would be worth thousands of dollars in the future, but now they were sold for less than two hundred yuan. What a cheap sale!
At this time, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses strode into the backyard. "Uncle Kun, I heard that you collected some top-quality purple sea urchins and Buddha's hand snails. Where are they?"
Ah Kun's face darkened for a moment, and he kicked the rubber bucket containing the Buddha's hand snails and sea urchins, "They're all in here." He looked up at him with a smile, "Manager Gu, are you satisfied with the goods today?"
Li Changle glanced at the man with glasses and remembered that the owner of Phoenix Restaurant was surnamed Gu. Could this man be the young boss? Even if not, he must be a relative of the boss.
"Satisfied, satisfied!" Manager Gu looked at Li Changle and the others with a smile, "Did they deliver all these goods?"
Uncle Kun smiled and nodded, pointing at the two men and said, "Ah Le, Ah Wei, you two are lucky. They were the ones who delivered the snow eels last time."
"Oh!" Manager Gu looked at Li Changle, "Ah Le, can you still get these Buddha's hand snails and purple sea urchins?"
Li Changle looked at him and felt that the price of those Buddha's hand snails could be raised further. "The purple sea urchins were rolled up by the waves. Whether we can find them in the future depends on luck.
All the slightly larger Buddha's hand snails on the rocks around the beach have been pried off. If you want to find such goods, you can only look for them on deserted islands, but the hope is not great. "
Chen Yongwei, who was helping Ah Sheng move the seafood, glanced at him, lowered his head and thought to himself: 'Why is it so hard to find my brother?
The Buddha's hand snails in the cave can be sold at a rate of 50 kilograms per day for a month. Could it be that he thinks the price is too cheap?
Manager Gu thought there was a chance. "There should be some on the deserted island. As long as it's good stuff like this, we'll take it no matter when it's delivered."
Li Changle scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "Yes, there are still some, but they are all growing in the cracks of the rocks on the cliffs. The rocks are slippery and it is difficult to stand on them. When prying them, they will fall into the sea if you are not careful. It is too dangerous."
"If there is a risk to one's life, then forget it!" Manager Gu looked at A Kun and said, "Uncle Kun, you are busy. I will go back now."
"The scale has been weighed. I have to go in and get the money for them." After saying that, A Kun said to Li Changle, "You two wait here. I'll be back soon."
"Okay Uncle Kun."
After Ah Kun and Manager Gu entered the kitchen, Chen Yongwei walked over to Li Changle, who was busy packing up his backpack, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you not going to sell anymore?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Li Changle replied in a low voice without even raising his head.
He was sure that the conches delivered this time were of top quality. He thought of those who used hunger marketing in later generations and firmly believed that as long as they were good things, there would be no fear of not being able to sell them at a good price.
Chen Yongwei remembered what A-Kun had asked about the sea urchins, "Brother, does A-Dong's family also have sea urchins to sell?"
"Yes!" Li Changle put the bucket into the backpack with him. A Kun also came out with the money. After giving him the money, he said:
"Ah Le, Manager Gu heard you say it's unsafe to pry open the Buddha's hand screws, so he told me that if you can get good stuff like today, let me increase the price appropriately."
"Okay, Uncle Kun, we'll go look for it when the tide goes out." Li Changle smiled and nodded, took out five pieces and handed them over, "Thank you, Uncle Kun, for your kind words."
Ah Kun took it and put it in his pocket with a smile. Seeing him roll up the money and put it in a sack and stuff it under the bucket, he laughed and said, "You, you just stuffed more than a hundred yuan in there casually. You're not like those young men in the fishing village who haven't seen the world."
Li Changle smiled and said, "I see those three hands like to pick other people's trouser pockets and coat pockets the most, so it's safer to put them here."
What is a hundred yuan? In later times, the monthly wages on fishing boats are more than ten thousand yuan.
The two came out of the backyard and walked onto the street. Chen Yongwei said happily, "Brother, they said they would charge a higher price. How much do you think they can charge?"
"How about adding a dime or two?"
"Then should we still pry it open and send it over?"
"Let's first pry the one on the island you mentioned and send it here. We'll go after the one in the cave when they double the price!"
Chen Yongwei nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Brother, hurry home, I want to see if grandma and aunt have found any beads."
"Let's go to the market and buy some cloth to make clothes for them."
"I'll buy two for my grandma too."
"Yes, your grandma worked hard to raise you, and you should honor her with the money you earn."
"I know."
The two arrived at the market and saw the fried popcorn with shredded ginger, black sesame seeds, and fried crispy peanuts. It looked delicious.
Li Changle weighed two kilograms and put them in a backpack, then went to the street next to the vegetable market with Chen Yongwei.
When I reached the street corner, I saw stalls selling all kinds of clothing and fabrics on both sides of the long street.
There were quite a few people buying cloth in front of the fabric stall. After measuring the size with a long wooden ruler, the boss picked up the scissors hanging around his neck and cut a slit.
Pinch the two sides of the opening with your thumb and index finger and apply force, and with a "hiss" sound, a piece of cloth is torn.
Chen Yongwei tore off a piece of old blue and a piece of black fine cloth for Grandma Chen.
Li Changle looked at his shirt that had been washed so much that it looked bleached, and his trousers that had a large patch on the knee, and asked him to tear off a piece of white Dacron and a piece of dark blue khaki to wear during the blind date.
He tore off two pieces of coarse cloth for Zhou Ruonan, a piece of shirt material with a white background and small flowers, and a piece of public security blue material to make pants.
Then he stacked up the gifts for his two sons, his parents, and his mother-in-law into a thick pile and happily put them all into the net bag.
"Let's go, let's go back. If we continue shopping and see something good and want to spend money, we'll get scolded when we go back." Chen Yongwei looked at him and said, "Brother, why don't you join us?"
Li Changle stroked his curly hair and said, "Your brother is good-looking. Even if he wears tattered clothes, he still stands out from the crowd."
"You are such a boaster." Chen Yongwei followed him with a smile, "Brother, sister-in-law speaks softly, are you afraid that she will scold you?"
"Do you think I'm afraid of her? I was just giving in to her."
Chen Yongwei glanced at him and almost said clearly that he didn't believe it.
A few minutes later, the two reached the roadside and hailed a minibus. Finally, they didn't have to squeeze with other people on their way back. The minibus swayed forward as it moved forward, and Li Changle leaned against the back of the chair, feeling drowsy.
Chen Yongwei didn't even dare to blink, for fear that someone would steal the cloth in the basket and the money under the bucket.
After finally reaching the main road at the entrance of the village, he hurriedly stopped the driver. Just as he was about to reach out to pat Li Changle, he stood up.
"I thought you were asleep!"
"You yelled so loudly that I was woken up even when I was sleeping."
The two men got off the car and walked towards the village carrying their backpacks. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of children standing by a long pond.
Li Xiaoyang was holding a bamboo pole to catch dragonflies. Li Xiaohai saw them and shouted loudly.
"Hurry up, Xiaozhou, Dad is back!"
"Uncle San is back~"
When the children saw him, they waved their hands and rushed towards him, shouting.
Li Xiaohai: "Dad, have you sold the money yet?"
Li Xiaozhou: "Dad, I want to eat sesame cakes!"
The others also looked at him, "Uncle San, we were good today and helped with the work."
"Be good, there are delicious popcorn candies!" Li Changle put down one of his shoulder straps, took out a paper bag, and gave a few pieces to each person.
Li Xiaohai shouted in surprise, "Wow! Candied Popcorn, only available during Chinese New Year!"
"It smells so good, I love it the most!"
"Uncle San is the best!"
"My dad always buys delicious food." Li Xiaozhou took a bite proudly, "It's delicious!"
Li Xiaoyang puffed his cheeks and said, "Uncle San, everyone in the village is saying that you and Uncle Awei have become rich. I thought they were just talking nonsense, but it turns out to be true."
"Why is it true?"
"You must be rich since you're willing to buy us some candied popcorn."
"Don't listen to their nonsense!" Li Changle patted Li Xiaoyang, "Did you guys catch any good fish at the beach this morning?"
Li Xiaoyang shook his head. "It's just sand crabs and crabs. We didn't even find a blue crab. I tell you, there were more people fishing in the sea this morning than there were sand crabs on the beach. They all said you made a fortune last night."
"…Does that mean we picked up thousands of sea urchins?"
"You picked up two full backpacks, and neither you nor Uncle Wei could carry them anymore."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Chen Yongwei curled his lips and shook his head. "From hundreds to two baskets, how did these people see it?"
Li Changle sneered: "No matter what they say, don't you know about those gossipy women in the village?"
Fortunately, they didn’t know that they had opened the beads. If they knew...it would be better not to go to the cave during this period of time.
When they reached the entrance of the alley, they found that there were many more women weaving nets than usual. They all looked at them with envious and jealous eyes, which almost pierced them into a sieve.
It’s just over a hundred purple sea urchins, what’s the big deal about one or two?
Agen's wife looked at Chen Yongwei with a smile, "Awei, you must have earned a lot recently, right? Have you earned enough for the bride price? If you have, I will introduce you to a partner."
"..." Chen Yongwei's face turned red like a cooked shrimp. He walked towards Li Changle's house without saying a word.
Li Changle grabbed him and said, "Why are you running? Tell Sister Agen your request and ask her to help you find a good one."
"That's right. Men are more shy than women. Which girl would be willing to marry you?" Agen's wife looked at him with a smile. "Tell me, what kind of person do you want to find?"
"Oh my, the young man is just shy, his face is redder than the magenta on the festive eggs."
"Awei is still a young man, do you think he is as shameless as an old woman like you?"
"You're not a grown-up girl, there's nothing to be shy about!"
Chen Yongwei looked at the chattering women, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Agen sister, listen carefully, I want someone tall, not ugly, and not someone with a small mouth. I don't want even a small one."
Several women looked at Chen Yongwei with a serious expression, and their already dark red faces turned dark red!
Li Changle looked at them and suddenly understood why some people said, don't mess with honest people, because honest people also have tempers.
